Product Information
Full details
The Tamiya Cr-Tuned Motor 35T is a specialized electric motor engineered for radio-controlled enthusiasts who prioritize high-torque, slow-speed control over raw top-end velocity. Ideally suited for crawlers and heavy-duty scale vehicles, this 35-turn motor delivers the precise power required for technical terrain navigation and hauling scale loads. While it is a robust upgrade for Tamiya crawler and tractor chassis, users should note that this is a torque-focused motor and will significantly reduce the top speed of vehicles geared for racing or general sport driving.

FAQs
Is this motor waterproof?
The motor is not explicitly rated as waterproof; it is best to avoid submerging it in water to protect the internal electrical components.
Will this motor fit my non-Tamiya RC car?
It is a standard 540-size motor and will fit many models from other manufacturers, provided they accept standard 540-size motors and the torque profile meets your needs.
Do I need to change my ESC?
If your current ESC supports 35-turn motors, it should work fine. Always check your ESC specifications for motor turn limits.
Is this a brushless motor?
No, this is a brushed motor, which provides the smooth, predictable response often preferred in crawling and scale hauling applications.
Can I use this for racing?
This motor is designed for torque and crawling; it lacks the high RPM capability required for competitive racing.
Troubleshooting
Motor feels sluggish or lacks power
Check your ESC settings to ensure it supports the motor's amp draw, and verify that the gear mesh is not set too tight.
Motor overheating during use
Check for binding in the drivetrain or verify that you are not running a pinion gear that is too large, which puts unnecessary load on the motor.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent slow-speed throttle control
- High torque for climbing and hauling
- Durable construction for heavy-duty use
- Perfect match for Tamiya scale crawler and tractor models
Cons
- Significantly lower top speed than stock motors
- May require re-gearing for optimal performance
- Not suitable for high-speed racing applications
Setup, Compatibility & Care
This motor is compatible with a wide range of Tamiya platforms, including the CR-01 crawler series and the 1/14 scale tractor truck line.
- Installation: Ensure the pinion gear is correctly meshed with the spur gear to prevent premature wear. Given the increased torque, use a high-quality thread-locking compound on your motor mount screws.
- Compatibility: It serves as a direct fit for most Tamiya RC vehicles requiring a 540-size motor mount.
- Care: To maintain performance, clean the commutator regularly and ensure no dust or grit enters the motor casing. Avoid water submersion to prevent corrosion on the internal bushings.
